After the show last week on Vivitrol (Naltrexone) many were confused and thought they would be hearing about a drug called Naloxone, a safe, non narcotic drug that works in minutes to reverse opiate overdose, used for decades in the Emergency Rooms across America.

This week, Denise interviews Gretchen Bergman, a mom and activist (for sure a mom with a purpose) about her organizationA New Path their training for lay people to use Naloxone. They talk about a new law in California that facilitates access and life saving opportunities. They clarify the difference between the two drugs (Naloxone and Naltrexone).
